What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior finance role where I can lead operational improvements, mentor teams, drive automation, and ensure robust reporting and compliance within a collaborative, process-focused organisation.

I am a senior finance professional with over 20 years' experience leading operational finance, treasury, and reporting functions across insurance and corporate environments. I have a consistent record of improving month-end close processes, managing audits, overseeing cash and treasury operations, and implementing automation projects that reduce cycle times and strengthen controls.

In leadership roles I supervise and develop teams, manage stakeholder relationships with auditors and tax authorities, and deliver accurate management and statutory reporting including AASB17 and year-end financial statements. I bring strong skills in budgeting and forecasting, fixed assets, SAP and Microsoft Office, and a commitment to process optimisation and integrity in financial management.
